During the last several years there have been a number of accidents, some of them fatal, to students of the University at Boonesboro
Beach. During this time the University has repeatedly requested the
proprietors of the Beach to institute a program which would materially reduce the risk of injury or drowning.
Recently the Social Committee of the University, composed of student and faculty members, ordered an investigation made of conditions at the Beach.
As a result of this investigation the Social Chairman, on April 24,
passed by unanimous vote a resolution stating that Boonesboro Beach
was not safe and would not be approved as a place of recreation for
University students.
The Committee action was taken with great reluctance as it was
realized that Boonesboro Beach is one of the few possible locations for
swimming in this vicinity. The Committee felt, however, that its
responsibility for the welfare of the students gave it no alternative.

Kentucky Schools
May Have Equal
Fund Distribution
All Kentucky school children may
soon have equal educational opportunities, if citizens vote in November to amend Section 186 of the

Kentucky Constitution, Dr. Lyman
Ginger, director of the University
School, said this week.
Section 186 provides for the distribution of state school funds on
the basis of the last census rather
than on a per capita attendance
basis. This is responsible for the
unequal division of those funds
among the various Kentucky school
districts. Dr. Ginger said.
If the amendment is approved by
the voters, Kentucky educators will
work for a legislative program
which they have labeled "minimum
foundation." This program would
guarantee every Kentucky child an
education on an equal basis with
that of every other Kentucky child.
Section 186 is one of the antiquated sections of the Kentucky Constitution, Dr. Ginger said, and it is
cheating Kentucky children.

Almost a third ol the new Assembly is made up

Assembly a Ixtter representation of the student

independents. The Constitutionalists ran no independents. Three of the 10 representatives elected
last fall are independents, which make a total of
nine non Creek students now in SCA.
Roth parties came up w ith some new planks in
their platforms for this election. 1'reviously, almost all the planks have been standard equipment
on the platforms of UK political parties since the
of SCA. Of course, some of the platform
promises made this time are impractical and have
been investigated to the point where nothing more
can lc done alxut them.
Alxiut the best plank, which appears on lK)th
platforms, was the promise to promote the interest
of high school students in UK by such things as
senior day. This would be ;od public relations for
the University, and would possibly attract more
students in enrolling ;.t UK.
The Constitutionalists promise to reorganize
SCA. We don't see how SCA could Ik' organized
than it is now. and we wonder if the
anv
party has a specific plan for reorganization.
The party also promises to investigate the possibility of combining the Unive rsity directory and

Breaking Fence
We don't like to advocate breaking the law and
damaging other people's property, but we would
like to thank and congratulate the party who tore
the fence down lxtween the Journalism Building
and the Mining Lalxiratory. The only thing wrong
is that they did not complete the job, but pulled
only half the fence down.
A couple of months ago we said in an editorial
that the fence is a nuisance and it disturbs the
students-peacof mine. The statement was proven
to Ik true Saturday lti'.'ht. because someone's peace
of mind was so distmlx d that the fence was torn
down.
It s leen nice this week seeing students with
smiling fact's walk across the fence and not being
forced to walk around the Mining Lab. Previously,

drop of increasing student dissatisfaction with national bias clauses. Fraternity chapters at Williams, Amherst, and elsewhere have recently violated their national constitutions by admitting
either a Negro or a Jew. Student governments at
more than a dozen universities and colleges have
set deadlines for fraternities to get rid of bias
clauses on penalty of expulsion.
Last February the student council at Rutgers
University. N. J., opened a nationwide drive to help
Creek chapters persuade their national organizations to change the clauses.
In the student opinion poll, students were asked,
"Some fraternities and sororities have clauses in
their constitutions stating that they will accept as
members only indiv iduals of the white race. How
do you feel about this policy?" The answers were:
per cent; disapprove 65 per cent; no
approve-- 25
opinion 7 per cent; other 3 per cent.

Certain Student C.overnment Association party
members showed unsportsmanlike conduct and
lack of ethics this week during all the vigorous
campaigning over the campus in the spring SCA
elections.
Several Constitutionalist's posters were taken
down from variuus places on the campus and
United Students' posters and leaflets were put up
in their place. This is a "below the belt"' trick and
an unethical thing to do. even in politics.
We were glad to see candidates take an interest
in their campaigning and have such a competitive'
spirit. It showed the candidates were interested in
becoming Assembly members. It is also during
these campaigns that students have the chance to
become acquainted with their representatives in
SGA.

The fact still remains, however, that candidates
should use some morals and ethics in campaigning
and not go around tearing down signs to put up
their ow n.

After Four Juleps

"Hey, Ruddy, w here's your ticket?" demanded the
usher.
"Right here."' said Perry Mutual, honestly.
"Sorrv , you'll have to have a clubhouse ticket to
go up there."
"Rut, I just wanted to go up and look around."
"No one allowed up without a ticket."
Perry shrugged his shoulders and meekly slunk
downstairs. The paddock looked like a UK registration; mass confusion everywhere. A can of
sardines would be wide open spaces. Perry stood

the frosted glass to his lips only to be jostled,
spilling the drink on his Kuppenheimer. The sweet
smelling liquid perfumed the wretched soul, transforming him into a portable distillery. He stood in
the hot sun boiling mad and drying off. He had
thought eif going to the Men's Room, but he
couldn't afford it.
Scanning his program, he realized that the fourth
race was coming up and he still hadn't picked a
winner. Perry started for the two dollar WIN
window when he spotted a bleach blonde, comand sunglasses, demurely
